Is 4 bulbs t5 Enough Light For A Maxima Clam?

[Reed639]

Hi so I have a 4 bulb t5 light fixture and I was wondering can I keep a maxima clam.
I want to know because they have this beutiful B&W maxima clam for $60.

Thanks,
Reed

Ive kept maximas under 2 bulb fixtures in aio tanks, I also had them under a 4 bulb fixture and now under led's. More than just lighting too keep them happy and growing but you can definetly keep them under that. If you have issues try and keep it higher in the tank =)

What kind of T5 light do you have? Does it have individual reflectors? Who has the B/W Maxima?

Sorry For The Late Reply It my local reef store here in missouri. Yes the light has individual reflectors. its a nova extreme pro

It will be absolutely fine.

I would say the lighting would be fine, depending on the depth of the clam in the tank. If the clam is 30" deep, you might not have long term success with that lighting. You would have better luck with a 20" tank, for example.

Yep, if I remember correctly you have a 20 or 29g and you should be good to go, just keep it up on the rocks.
